Poems of Adieu and Hello

Spare me the pains of the inky night,Give me shadows of the lustrous moon.Don’t sing me songs of adieuin whispers, that I barely knew.Rest and let go of the garbled breath,that wracks your tattered body.Let go my love, of the threadthat leads to turmoil and misery.

Go, move on to the sunshine of joy,and suffer no more my sweet.gnarled fingers and wrinkles are done now,and time for your restful sleep.

Don’t worry for in time I will be,with you in the folds of your dreams.Where nothing counts but you and me,and together we will always be…

Those are wonderful poems. In Adieu, I imagine someone who’s suffering from a serious case of arthritis. Because of this person’s pain and suffering, you, the poet, are telling him/her that it’s okay to die. I’m not sure if this is what it means.

In Hello, I see a new beginning. It’s a time to celebrate a new begining of something– perhaps, love, life, work, retirement that makes one very happy.

First, let me say I love reading traditional style poetry. You don’t see it very often and many times when you do it reads like greeting card verse. However you have mastered the traditional style with modernism which is rare.
